# SalesHive Alternatives: 6 SDR Firms Compared on Terms

*Sales Tool Alternatives · Updated 2026-11-04T11:19:00+00:00 · 9 min read*

**SalesHive sells three managed plans, Starter, Growth and Crush, from one dedicated SDR on the phone at 100 or more daily touches to two SDRs on phone and email at 500 or more, with a US based core team or a separate offshore option. Every plan is custom quoted as one flat monthly fee with no setup fee, nothing is owed until the client approves the launch, and it states in writing that it does not guarantee a number of meetings. Teams look elsewhere when they want a published price, a price per appointment, LinkedIn in the channel mix, more languages or the outreach system run in their own name. Provena wrote this comparison and is listed as one option, with that conflict stated.**

SalesHive alternatives worth a B2B shortlist include SalesRoads for a dedicated SDR at a published $11,950 per four weeks with cancel anytime terms, Leadium for published month to month prices from $3,500 a month, CIENCE for SDR seats from $1,750 a month plus fees, memoryBlue for dedicated reps in more than 30 languages, Belkins for a price per appointment from $750 plus setup, and Provena for a fractional go to market team that runs outreach to one vertical market. SalesHive itself quotes every plan on a call, so compare them on cost per held meeting for the same scope.

## SalesHive alternatives: why do US teams compare other SDR firms?

Read on its own pricing and about pages on 4 November 2026, SalesHive says it was founded in 2016 as a two person company, is remote first, and has a core SDR team that is 100% US based, with Philippines SDRs as a separate option. A dedicated Sales Strategist owns targeting and messaging, and one monthly fee covers the SDR team, the strategist, its own platform (Power Dialer, eMod personalisation and a smart inbox), list building, data enrichment and management. Annual plans carry a lower monthly rate and a 12 month commitment. On month to month plans, cancellation needs written notice and outreach and billing end at the end of the next billing month. Most clients launch in about three weeks, and CRM sync sends activity one way into Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive or Zoho CRM. It reports more than 106,000 client meeting bookings since 2016, self reported. The answer must fit the buyer, the people doing the work and the evidence available after launch. A fashionable platform or generic checklist cannot repair weak targeting or unclear ownership.

Before comparing providers, settle five things. Whether you need a published price or will accept a quote, whether your buyers answer the phone, whether LinkedIn belongs in the channel mix, how long the first commitment runs and how you leave it, and whether the domains, lists and recordings must stay in your own name. Write the desired business outcome first, then define what must be true for it to occur and which risks require a human decision.

## How should teams compare SalesHive alternatives without a generic score?

SalesHive and SalesRoads were read on their own pricing, about and service pages on 4 November 2026, and Leadium, CIENCE, memoryBlue and Belkins on their own pricing, service and FAQ pages on 2 November 2026. Only stated services, prices, terms, rep locations and guarantee wording were recorded. Testimonials, case study results and third party review sites were set aside, and any figure a provider reports about itself is labelled self reported. For SalesHive alternatives, we used documented capability and practical fit. No paid placement, invented scores or unsupported performance claims were used. Check current pricing and packaging directly.

| Choice | Best fit | Core strength | Main tradeoff |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| SalesRoads | US teams whose buyers answer the phone and who want a published price per SDR | dedicated SDRs, never shared across accounts, at published prices with no long term commitment | calling and email only, and a higher price per seat than most of this list |
| Leadium | B2B teams that want US based reps on a published monthly price and month to month terms | cold calling only from $3,500 a month and multichannel outreach across email, phone and LinkedIn from $4,000 to $5,000 a month | it guarantees activity rather than appointments, and new clients start only on the 1st or the 15th of the month |
| CIENCE | buyers who want a lower seat price than SalesHive and can accept offshore or European callers | a public rate card for each part of the bill, so a quote can be checked line by line before signing | the bill grows as an SDR nears target because of the bonus, and the one time setup charge is not shown |
| memoryBlue | technology sellers whose buyers sit outside the US or speak another language | reps who work one client each, managed in person from offices that include London and Singapore, with more than 30 native languages | it shows no rate on its site, and it says a new rep needs as long as 90 days to ramp |
| Belkins | buyers in a large market who would rather pay for each appointment than for an SDR's month | the right to challenge an appointment that misses the criteria agreed at kickoff, so a weak meeting is not billed as a good one | a one time setup charge, and it reserves the per appointment model for markets big enough to work for up to six months |
| Provena | software companies selling into one niche market where the phone does not reach every account | a fractional go to market team that builds the verified account list, writes email and LinkedIn outreach for the client to approve and qualifies each reply before a meeting is offered | there is no dialer team and no public rate card, so a buyer who wants the most calls for the money should look at the phone led firms above |

*A practical comparison for SalesHive alternatives, from each option's public materials.*

## What should you check when you compare SalesHive with another provider?

Provena publishes this page and sells a service on it, which is a conflict of interest, so read the Provena entry as a sales statement. No provider is ranked first. Every price, term and location below is quoted from the provider's own site on the date given, and the calls on fit are our editorial view. SalesHive writes its own terms more plainly than most of the field, and nothing here suggests it falls short on them.

Match the scope before the price. SalesHive prices by team location, channels and daily touches: Starter is phone only with one SDR at 100 or more touches a day, Growth adds personalised email at 250 or more, and Crush puts two SDRs on phone and email at 500 or more. Send every alternative that same scope, the number of SDRs, the channels and the daily volume, or the quotes will not compare.

Put every price on one rep for one calendar month. Four weekly billing means 13 invoices a year, so SalesRoads at $11,950 per four weeks for one SDR is about $12,946 a month, and its dedicated appointment setting SDR at $9,500 per four weeks is about $10,292. A US based CIENCE SDR who lands exactly on target comes to $8,449 a month with the campaign team, platform and bonus. Leadium lists $4,000 to $5,000 a month for email, phone and LinkedIn together. Ask SalesHive for the same unit, one rep for one month, so the numbers line up.

Read the guarantee wording. SalesHive commits to the daily outreach in the plan and says no one can honestly promise a fixed number of meetings before seeing your market. Leadium guarantees service and activity deliverables, not appointment outcomes. CIENCE pays a bonus only once held meetings pass 60% of each SDR's target. Belkins sells appointments one at a time on its pay per appointment model and lets you challenge one that misses the agreed criteria. A guarantee only means something next to the definition of the meeting it counts.

The exit. SalesHive month to month plans end at the close of the next billing month after written notice, so a decision to leave still costs at least one more billing month; its annual plans carry a 12 month commitment. SalesRoads states cancel anytime, and Leadium and CIENCE describe month to month terms. Whichever you choose, make sure the lists, sequences, call recordings and suppression file are yours when you go.

The channel mix. SalesHive plans list phone, and phone plus email; LinkedIn is not one of the listed channels. If your buyers answer LinkedIn more readily than the phone, ask each alternative how it runs LinkedIn and from whose profile. The [outsourced SDR companies](/blog/best-outsourced-sdr-companies) comparison sets out cost per rep and channel across the wider field.

## Which SalesHive alternatives warrant a closer look?

### SalesRoads: where does it fit?

SalesRoads publishes $11,950 per four weeks for one SDR and $16,750 for two, $8,375 per SDR, with no long term commitment and cancel anytime, and a separate appointment setting page with a fractional SDR from $6,950 and a dedicated SDR from $9,500 per four weeks, as read on 4 November 2026. The [SalesRoads alternatives](/blog/salesroads-alternatives) guide compares it with other phone led firms. Suits US teams whose buyers answer the phone and who want a published price per SDR. Strongest where dedicated SDRs, never shared across accounts, at published prices with no long term commitment matters. Test that calling and email only, and a higher price per seat than most of this list.

### Leadium: where does it fit?

Leadium describes a 100% US based team in Orlando, month to month contracts, appointment setting live in 7 to 10 days and client approval of every work product, and publishes its prices in a cost article dated 15 June 2026, as read on 2 November 2026. The [Leadium alternatives](/blog/leadium-alternatives) guide compares it in depth. Suits B2B teams that want US based reps on a published monthly price and month to month terms. Strongest where cold calling only from $3,500 a month and multichannel outreach across email, phone and LinkedIn from $4,000 to $5,000 a month matters. Test that it guarantees activity rather than appointments, and new clients start only on the 1st or the 15th of the month.

### CIENCE: where does it fit?

On its pricing page read on 2 November 2026, a seat costs $1,750 a month offshore or $3,500 in the US and Europe, on top of a campaign team at $2,000 and the graph8 platform at $499 a month. A bonus starts once held meetings reach 60% of the SDR's target, terms are month to month and launch takes under 14 days. Its alternatives are covered in the [CIENCE comparison](/blog/cience-alternatives). Suits buyers who want a lower seat price than SalesHive and can accept offshore or European callers. Strongest where a public rate card for each part of the bill, so a quote can be checked line by line before signing matters. Test that the bill grows as an SDR nears target because of the bonus, and the one time setup charge is not shown.

### memoryBlue: where does it fit?

Read on 2 November 2026, memoryBlue says it has sold SDR programmes since 2003, prices on a retainer or on performance, and does not bill the two week onboarding. It reports 8 to 12 meetings a month from a ramped rep, a self reported figure, and lets clients hire the rep later. A full comparison sits in the [memoryBlue guide](/blog/memoryblue-alternatives). Suits technology sellers whose buyers sit outside the US or speak another language. Strongest where reps who work one client each, managed in person from offices that include London and Singapore, with more than 30 native languages matters. Test that it shows no rate on its site, and it says a new rep needs as long as 90 days to ramp.

### Belkins: where does it fit?

Its pages read on 2 November 2026 price an appointment from $750, with a $1,500 setup charge and a first package of 10. The retainer packages promise 100 or more appointments a year on Growth and 200 or more on Growth Plus. Firms buyers set against it are covered in the [Belkins comparison](/blog/belkins-alternatives). Suits buyers in a large market who would rather pay for each appointment than for an SDR's month. Strongest where the right to challenge an appointment that misses the criteria agreed at kickoff, so a weak meeting is not billed as a good one matters. Test that a one time setup charge, and it reserves the per appointment model for markets big enough to work for up to six months.

### Provena: where does it fit?

This entry is written by the publisher of the guide and is a sales statement, not a review. The outreach goes out from inboxes in the client's own name, so the domains, the list and every reply remain the client's when the work ends. Scope and price follow a discovery call. Suits software companies selling into one niche market where the phone does not reach every account. Strongest where a fractional go to market team that builds the verified account list, writes email and LinkedIn outreach for the client to approve and qualifies each reply before a meeting is offered matters. Test that there is no dialer team and no public rate card, so a buyer who wants the most calls for the money should look at the phone led firms above.

## What does each provider charge, where are the reps, and how do you leave?

SalesHive quotes every plan and commits to activity. The alternatives publish a price per SDR, per month or per appointment and word their terms differently. The table records what each states on its own pages.

| Provider | Published price | Where the reps sit | Term and exit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| SalesHive | No, custom quoted, no setup fee, nothing owed before launch approval | 100% US based core team, Philippines option | Month to month ends at the close of the next billing month after notice; annual is 12 months |
| SalesRoads | $11,950 per four weeks for one SDR; $6,950 or $9,500 per four weeks for appointment setting | Not stated on the pages read | No long term commitment, cancel anytime |
| Leadium | $3,500 calling only, $4,000 to $5,000 multichannel a month | 100% US based, Orlando | Month to month, starts on the 1st or 15th |
| CIENCE | From $1,750 per SDR plus $2,499 in monthly fees and a bonus | Offshore, Europe or US | Month to month after a setup fee |
| memoryBlue | No, retainer or performance based | Seven offices including London and Singapore | Not published; two week unbilled onboarding |
| Belkins | From $750 per appointment plus $1,500 setup | Not stated on the pages read | Package of 10 appointments to start |
| Provena | No, scoped after discovery | Not a calling floor; email and LinkedIn | 90 days invoiced monthly |

Pick two firms, hand both the same brief and the same meeting definition, and after one quarter divide what each cost by the meetings that were held. To price a single appointment on each firm's own figures, use the [appointment setting cost guide](/blog/appointment-setting-cost).

## What does switching between SalesHive alternatives involve?

Test SalesHive alternatives against a representative workflow before committing. First test: Put the number of SDRs, the channels, the daily touches and the target titles in one brief and send it unchanged to each firm. Include ordinary records, difficult exceptions and the people who will own the system after selection.

1. Put the number of SDRs, the channels, the daily touches and the target titles in one brief and send it unchanged to each firm.
2. Agree in writing what a qualified meeting is, and whether a booking or a held call is what counts.
3. Turn each four weekly or per appointment price into a calendar month, then add any setup, platform, data or bonus charge.
4. Ask which country the callers work from and whether any rep also works for other clients.
5. Find the notice clause and work out how many billed months remain after you decide to stop.
6. Register the sending domains, the list, the call recordings and the do not contact file to your own company.

Use the [free cold email grader](/tools/cold-email-grader) to check practical details connected with SalesHive alternatives before a live campaign begins. Keep a dated change log so rules, features and assumptions can be reviewed without rebuilding the whole motion.

## Which SalesHive alternatives comparison mistakes create avoidable risk?

Selection risk around SalesHive alternatives usually appears when a polished feature list replaces a real workflow test. Make the following failure modes visible before migration, procurement or a longer commitment.

- Comparing a custom quote for two SDRs with a published price for one.
- Comparing a four weekly price with a monthly quote as if both bought the same number of weeks.
- Treating a commitment to daily touches as a commitment to meetings, or the reverse.
- Judging any provider before a full quarter of held meetings has been reviewed.

Providers change prices, plans and notice terms without warning, and a signed order form overrides any web page. Confirm the plan, where the callers sit, the meeting definition and how to give notice with each firm before signing.

## How should teams measure progress after choosing among SalesHive alternatives?

Judge the provider you pick on meetings held that meet your written definition, the share your sales team accepts, the opportunities those meetings open and the full cost divided by held meetings, counted per 1,000 people contacted each month. Dial counts, touches and bookings tell you why the number moved, not whether it is good.

Compare the result with the assumptions in the brief, not with a generic internet benchmark. Keep the useful parts, revise one weak variable at a time and stop if the evidence or compliance position is unclear.

## SalesHive vs SalesRoads: which fits a US phone led programme?

Both run SDRs on the phone with email alongside, and neither promises a meeting count on the pages read. The differences are price, rep location and exit. SalesHive states its core team is 100% US based; the SalesRoads pages read on 4 November 2026 do not say where its SDRs sit. SalesRoads publishes its price, $11,950 per four weeks for one SDR and $8,375 per SDR for two, and states cancel anytime. SalesHive quotes each plan on a call, charges no setup fee, owes nothing until you approve the launch, and ends month to month billing at the close of the next billing month after written notice, with a lower rate for a 12 month annual plan.

Choose SalesRoads when a published price and freedom to stop matter most. Choose SalesHive when you want the strategist, data and dialer in one quoted fee and are happy to sign after seeing the playbook. If the gap is that the phone alone cannot reach your market, neither fixes it; look at a provider that runs email and LinkedIn from a classified account list. Provena sells that model, so treat this as a vendor statement. The [B2B appointment setting companies](/blog/best-appointment-setting-companies) comparison covers the wider field.

## When does managed support make sense alongside SalesHive alternatives?

Swapping one SDR firm for another changes who dials and what it costs. Which accounts are worth a call, what a good meeting looks like and what the last quarter taught you are still yours to own, unless you hire a team to own them with you. For SalesHive alternatives, Provena builds the research, data, messaging and operating loop around the chosen route. The goal is not more activity for its own sake. It is a controlled system that creates relevant conversations and shows clearly what should change next. See the [B2B SaaS lead generation service](/solutions/saas-lead-generation) and review [Provena case studies](/case-studies) before deciding whether support is appropriate.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does SalesHive cost?

SalesHive does not publish a dollar price. Its pricing page, read on 4 November 2026, says every managed plan is custom quoted as one flat monthly fee that depends on US based or offshore SDRs, phone only or phone plus email, and daily volume of 100, 250 or 500 or more touches. The fee covers the SDR team, a dedicated strategist, the platform, data and management, with no setup fee and no per meeting price, and annual plans carry a lower monthly rate than month to month.

### Does SalesHive guarantee meetings?

No. SalesHive's pricing FAQ, read on 4 November 2026, says it does not guarantee a number of meetings because results depend on the offer, the market and how buyers respond. It commits to the daily outreach in the selected plan, a strategist tuning targeting and messaging every week, and a login where the client can follow every touch and booked meeting, and the client approves the playbook and messaging before the first invoice.

### What are the best SalesHive alternatives?

It depends on what you want that SalesHive does not give you. A published price: SalesRoads at $11,950 per four weeks for one SDR, or Leadium from $3,500 a month. A cheaper seat: CIENCE from $1,750 a month offshore plus fees. Other languages: memoryBlue. Paying per appointment: Belkins from $750 plus setup. Email and LinkedIn run in your own name for one niche market: Provena, which wrote this guide.

### Which risk should teams watch with SalesHive alternatives?

Two, for SalesHive alternatives. First: Comparing a custom quote for two SDRs with a published price for one. Second: Comparing a four weekly price with a monthly quote as if both bought the same number of weeks.

### How can Provena support work around SalesHive alternatives?

Swapping one SDR firm for another changes who dials and what it costs. Which accounts are worth a call, what a good meeting looks like and what the last quarter taught you are still yours to own, unless you hire a team to own them with you. For work on SalesHive alternatives, review Provena's [B2B SaaS lead generation service](/solutions/saas-lead-generation) and confirm fit in a conversation before choosing support.
